In our third travelers episode, we catch up with the explorer and diplomat Ibn Battuta, as he narrowly avoids disaster in Southern India, though his entourage is not so lucky. We also get some of the first written descriptions of the people of the Maldives, and discuss the status of slaves in Ibn Battuta's traveling household. This episode includes modified versions of recordings originally by Samuel Corwin and Nimisha Shankar, used under the CC-BY license.
